How did you downgrade?
...i've been looking around a a way to unlock on 4.3 but most info is for 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, do you remember how you did it?

You cannot downgrade the bootloader, only the ROM.

It has been theorized that downgrading the ROM to 4.1.1 and keeping the 4.3 bootloader would give you the necessary options to unlock the phone using the free method, but no one has posted the results of doing this.

I read in one of these threads that flashing via Mobile Odin, rather than desktop Odin, will flash the ROM but not the bootloader. Can anyone confirm if it is possible to safely downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 via this method?
